Join us for our most highly anticipated evening as we celebrate award-winning films as well as our 2022 King Vidor Award Recipient on the stage of the historic Fremont Theater.
Filmmakers and special guests will grace the Red Carpet leading up to the awards ceremony hosted by John Wildman. The George Sidney Independent Film Awards, presented each year in several categories, are juried by film and media professionals in the industry.

The King Vidor Award is named for prolific director King Vidor, who became a leader in a fledgling industry that began around the time he was born, in 1894. He was the first president of the Directors Guild of America, one of the few directors to successfully shift from the silent era to “talkies,” and was responsible for an impressive number of enduring classics. Over the last 27 years, this award has been presented to a series of talented individuals who fulfill the high standards set by this amazing man, who also had a passion for his ranch in Paso Robles.

We are very proud of the wide array of amazing individuals who have visited San Luis Obispo since 1993, bringing their humor and memorable charisma to the Fremont Theater. We will be announcing our King Vidor guest soon! The King Vidor presentation will be MC’d by Turner Classic Movie channel host and very popular festival guest, Ben Mankiewicz.
